More in the principles than in the details:

dirvish seems ill-fit for a system that gets triggered on inotify 
because it will poll the whole tree again after getting triggered, 
annihilating the whole performance benefit of being event-driven.

I don't think it's at all possible to build an "ongoing backup" system 
with rsync as its basis.

Maybe I completely misunderstand what you're doing, but if you're trying 
to build your own Time Machine, I guess that's not a practical way to do 
it, unless you want to lock up your machine.

Sorry if I misunderstood you,
